and annually since 1989. The survey is
conducted under authority of Section
306 of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 242k). The National Hospital
Discharge Survey (NHDS) (OMB No.
0920–0212, Exp. Date 01/31/2019),
conducted continuously between 1965
and 2010, was the Nation’s principal
source of data on inpatient utilization of
short-stay, non-institutional, nonFederal hospitals, and was the principal
source of nationally representative
estimates on the characteristics of
inpatients including lengths of stay,
diagnoses, surgical and non-surgical
procedures, and patterns of use of care
in hospitals in various regions of the
country. In 2011, NHDS was granted
approval by OMB to expand its content
and to change its name to the National
Hospital Care Survey (NHCS).
In May 2011, recruitment of sampled
hospitals for the NHCS began. Hospitals
in the NHCS are asked to provide data
on all inpatients from their UB–04
administrative claims, or EHRs.
Hospital-level characteristics and
information about telemedicine usage in
the healthcare setting are collected
through an Annual Hospital Interview.
health care acquired infections and
antimicrobial use.
Beginning in 2013, in addition to
inpatient hospital data, hospitals
participating in NHCS were asked to
provide data on the utilization of health
care services in their ambulatory
settings (e.g., EDs and OPDs). Due to
low response rates and a high level of
missing data, OPD data were not
collected in the last approval period
(2022, 2023 and 2024). Collection of
OPD may resume in future years.
Data collected through NHCS are
essential for evaluating the health status
of the population, for the planning of
programs and policy to improve health
care delivery systems of the Nation, for
studying morbidity trends, and for
research activities in the health field.
Changes to the data collection survey
include the removal of COVID–19
questions from the Annual Hospital
Interview (AHI). The burden hours have
been reduced due to a decrease in the
sample size. The new total annualized
burden is 5,826 hours. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time to
participate.
NHCS will continue to provide the same
national health-care statistics on
hospitals that NHDS provided.
Additionally, NHCS collects more
information at the hospital level (e.g.,
volume of care provided by the
hospital), which allow for analyses on
the effect of hospital characteristics on
the quality of care provided. NHCS data
collected from UB–04 administrative
claims and EHRs include all inpatient
discharges, not just a sample. The
confidential collection of personally
identifiable information (PII) allows
NCHS to link episodes of care provided
to the same patient in the ED and/or
OPD and as an inpatient, as well as link
patients to the National Death Index
(NDI) to measure post-discharge
mortality, and Medicare and Medicaid
data to leverage comorbidities. The
availability of patient identifiers also
makes analysis on hospital readmissions
possible. This comprehensive collection
of data makes future opportunities for
surveillance possible, including
analyzing trends and incidence of
opioid misuse, acute myocardial
infarction, heart failure and stroke, as
well as trends and point prevalence of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
Background and Brief Description
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Given the increased demand to
improve clinical guideline development
and implementation, a new approach
that began with an initiative on
Adapting Clinical Guidelines for the
Digital Age has been expanded by
Guidelines International Network (GIN)
North America to implement a future
state of guideline development and
implementation that leverages
advancements in technology. To
identify pain points in the process, CDC
plans to engage individuals from
multiple perspectives in guideline
development and implementation in
discussion. CDC requests approval for
an Existing Collection in Use Without
an OMB Control Number for a data
collection titled Human-Centered
Design Effort on Bringing Guidelines to
the Digital Age.
CDC will use semi-structured
interviews to collect data for this study.
The interviews will explore insights
about guideline development and
implementation as well as pain points
in this process. Data will be used to
inform the structure of a humancentered design workshop where
participants use the pain points
identified as starting points for
designing solutions. Burden estimates
include the time for respondents to be
participate in semi-structured
interviews. CDC requests OMB approval
for an estimated 33 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate.

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and

Revision request for the currently

Sfmt 4703
approved Evaluating the Overdose Data
to Action TA Hub (OMB Control No.
0920–1355, Exp. Date 11/30/2024) for
three years. CDC requests a three-year
OMB approval to support the evaluation
of technical assistance (TA) provided for
the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) in
States (S) and OD2A: Limiting Overdose
through Collaborative Actions in
Localities (LOCAL) programs. OD2A–S
and OD2A: LOCAL are cooperative
agreements funded in 2023 to focus on
comprehensive and interdisciplinary
opioid overdose prevention efforts in 49
state health departments, 39 localities,
Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC. Each
program consists of two required
components—a surveillance component
and a prevention component. OD2A
recipients implement a combination of
activities across nine state strategies and
eight local strategies within these
components in order to gain access to
high quality, complete, and timelier
data on opioid prescribing and
overdoses and to use those data to
inform prevention and response efforts
in their jurisdictions.
In the previously approved iteration
of this data collection, the information
collected surrounding OD2A (version
1.0) recipient feedback on their
experiences receiving TA proved
invaluable in the process of improving
TA delivery and overall providing more
useful TA. The feedback provided in the
original data collection instruments was
also used to improve the TA Strategy of
the updated iterations of OD2A
(including OD2A–S and OD2A: LOCAL)
and their recipients. With the
information that was collected in the
previously approved ICR, CDC can more
effectively deliver TA to an almostdoubled recipient group across two
programs instead of one and ensure that
continuous improvement in TA is
occurring. Further information gathering
through the two new instruments
proposed in this ICR (the
Implementation Feedback Form and the
Focus Group script), will even more
acutely enhance TA perspectives and
needs to effectively and responsibly
utilize the DOP TA Center resource.
Training and technical assistance
(TA) is essential to building knowledge
and strengthening the capacity of
recipients to implement and evaluate
OD2A program strategies. CDC will
develop and deploy a TA hub (hereafter
referred to as the DOP TA Center) to
deliver comprehensive technical
assistance and training to support the
successful implementation and
evaluation of surveillance and
prevention activities. The DOP TA
Center is designed to enhance the
efficiency, coordination, and
